Greg Pettit is a contemporary artist from Austin, TX who uses abstract sculptural references to create paintings that evoke the surreal and uncanny.

Working primarily with airbrushed acrylics, Greg's paintings depict complex vibratory environments populated by phantasmagoric automatons. Developing a process that blends traditional observational painting skills with hypnagogic projection, Greg has created a style he describes as augmented still- life, an approach that evenly utilizes both self-conscious and subconscious brain functions to produce paintings that blend seamlessly between tightly rendered realism and dynamically patterned overlays. Laying down form with brushes and airbrush, a discourse is arrived at where object and environment seem spun from a single material, functioning as one interconnected field.
